Error 255 with messages with attachments

Maybe I'm missing something! This doesn't seem to fail with my test
messages to my test list, but to other lists, when attachments are sent,
my maillog has a line saying 'stat=unknown mailer error 255', and the
message is not added to the archive. If I manually run hypermail on the
list archive majordomo creates, it has no trouble...it only seems to have
trouble when getting the messge via stdin.

My line in /etc/aliases looks like:
 "|/usr/local/bin/hypermail -u -i -l 'listname archive' -d
/Web/docs/hypermail/listname"

Any pointers as to why it would puke so on attachments? The attachment on
the most recent test case is a word doc, sent via outlook express 5.0, and
has quite a few mime parts:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Type: text/html;
...and the attachment.
Content-Type: application/msword;
        name="Waffle 9-21.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="Waffle 9-21.doc"

Thanks!
